Well its a good viewpoint. I have not liked how illegals ,some that have been here for years, have been treated or talked about on this board. For years they have been here doing work and yes raising familes but the majority of Americans never gave a big hoot. As long as the food was cooked, our fields were harvested, our cars worked on , and our homes built we certaintly took the fruit of their labors. I suspect many illegals are shocked to be called criminals nowadays in the same way a rapist or bank robber is.In the end they are human beings and have a dignity as such. Many have families here that are 100 percent full blooded American. It makes no sense to me to have these families broken up. I have asked repeatly if posters that wish to deport illegal aliens or at least want to starve them out through attrition and sanctions if they would entertain an exception for cases like this. The answer has been overwhelming no. Well at the end of the day, I am not sure how that is consistent with the dignity of the human person or the importance of the family in our country.
you write: ...I have not liked how illegals ,some that have been here for years, have been treated or talked about on this board.
You are absolutely right. Illegals should NOT BE DENIGRATED.
But I reserve the right to take umbrage with our leaders whom have refused to uphold the laws that they are sworn to enforce -- and that against the will of the American people.
Please spare me the "Noble Savage" talk. Illegals didn't come here because they wanted to serve the gringos--they came here to take advantage of a system we and our ancestors worked hard to build and maintain. IOW, they acted in their own self interests, just like every other human being (whether they'll admit it or not). Poverty does not impart virtue.
I agree entirely with this, and I appreciate your statement of support.
Could you (or anyone else reading on this thread) do me a favor sometime? If you know any illegals personally, would you ask them if they know what the Reconquesta is, and if they agree with its goals? See my post #2043 for why.
I'd love to know the answer, especially if they participated in the protests.
